Hello Albert,
Thank you for your report.
The first step is to make sure the printer driver (gutenprint's Canon
backend) works, so please attach the printer via USB.

I contacted the cups-bjnp developer, and the developer says that this

Yes, as far as I know, the MG6300 has not been tested yet.

So indeed, it doesn't work! I'd like to help in any way possible to get the

 Thanks for testing. Here are the steps for general testing:
1. Select plain media
2. Select A4 size (or Letter).
3. Select Resolution mode "600x600 DPI" which is for plain media
4. Select CMYK for inktype
5. Make sure borderless is unselected

Please let me know what is the result of printing a page with such settings.
